Results
ChC was detected in 108 (54%) patients.
The active form of ChC was 32 (30%),
latent form of ChC - 76 (70%).
92 (85%) patients with ChC in history there were indications moved transmitted genital infections,
asthenozoospermia was observed in 38 (35%).
The active form of ChC manifested by pain in the perineum,
dysuria,
leukocyturia without systemic inflammatory reaction.
Digital rectal examination CG was informative only 8 (7%) patients.
Latent ChC no clinically manifested.
Ultrasonography in patients with active form of ChC CG have a rounded form,
clear contours,
increased size (volume CG of more than 0.5 cm3,
the asymmetry index over 10%),
decreased echogenicity,
homogeneous structure,
high vascular density (more than 2 signals per 1 cm2),
high-speed and low-resistance the bloodstream (V max over 15 cm/s,
RI less than 0.6).
Latent form of ChC ultrasound was shown only increase CG,
other sonographic indicators CG were normal (Fig.
1 – 4)
